At least 35 people killed in air strikes in northern Yemen - medic

DUBAI (Reuters) - At least 35 people were killed and 13 wounded in air strikes near a checkpoint of the Houthi armed movement north of the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Wednesday, a local medic said.

The two strikes hit a small hotel close to the checkpoint in the Arhab area, around 20 kilometres (13 miles) from Sanaa, the medic said. Houthi-run television earlier said at least 30 people had been killed.
